I have been missing for a few days. The chaotic of Thanksgiving, packing, going out of town, feasting and just relaxing with the family made me become lazy. So I am now back, YAY! and here to show you my November Birchbox that I receive a week ago.
Here is how it looks like when I open my box:
First you see of course, is the introduction card.
You can see the little book on guide for holiday gift 2012
Underneath the little book. YAY!! my items.
1. Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue Full Price: $75-$195
Thanks to spicy ginger and a touch of bergamot, this sexy new rose scent is more sophisticated than sweet. I tried this on me, it smells nice but too strong for me, well duh, it is a cologne. LOL it probably smells a lot better on my husband than I.
Oh this is the post card that comes with the cologne. It is quite artistic really. 2. Miracle Skin TransformerVanish Instant Imperfection Corrector Full Price: $58
Before applying makeup, prep skin with this serum-infused primer, which has optical diffusers that mask imperfections.
3. Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture & Volume Spray Full Price: $25
This light, nonsticky spray gives hair a voluminous, sexy, tousled look. Spray from the ends to roots for best results. It's great for updos, too!
4. Stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer Full Size: $20
Add a touch of this luminescent fluid to your cheekbones or decolletage, or mix it with your foundation for an all over glow.
Here is a swatch of it. It is a really nice looking rose gold shimmer. It is pretty for medium skin tone. My swatch is only in my hand, (apologize about this), I will try this luminizer in my next video so you guys can actually see how it looks.
See how it just gives enough shimmers. I think this will give a good glow. Just enough and not too much.
5. Chuao Chocolatier 7-pack Assorted ChocoPod Full Size: $7.95
This is an extra from Birchbox.
These bite-size artisanal treats are made with premium Venezuelan cacao and come in a range of unexpected flavors.
I have never tried Chocolate and Chip mixed together so we shall see. I honestly not sure if I want to try this lol. I still have not touched it.
Well that is all I got from Birchbox. This is all for now everyone. Thanks for visiting! XOXO
Today I just want to show you pictures and my Youtube video of my HAUL. It is very difficult to resist shopping during holiday season. A lot of website offer so many discounts on their product and those limited edition beauty product? *sigh* so pretty and too good of a deal to refuse.
Well here is the video to my Yotube video:
Here are the pictures of my Haul. Let's start with MAC:
Glamour Daze Holiday Collection.
Fluidline Gel Liners:
Catch my Eye. This eyeliner has such gorgeous taupe color
Little Black Bow. A pretty dark grey metallic.
Feminine Edge (My favorite) A lovely pink color.

Too cute right? I love the little sword engraved as well as the logo.
Sephora Haul:

Foundation brush, concealer, angled shadow brush, smudge brush and eyeliner/eyebrow brush
Lorac Pro Palette
Gorgeous colors, don't you think? I love it.
The eye primer that comes with the Pro palette.
Too Faced Love Sweet Love palette. I actually fell in love with the makeup case and eyeliner then I check out the rest. Haha
I think this value box has a sample of great products of Too Faced.
I seriously love this color and it can keep plenty of beauty products in it.
The fluffy brush. Their brush feels so soft and I am such a sucker for colorful brushes.
Smoothing Face Primer.
Too Faced Famous Eye Shadow Insurance.
Too Faced Waterproof Eyeliner. Awesome eyeliner.
I have never tried this mascara before so I can't tell you if this is a good product. I heard a lot of mixed reviews on this. I am not much of a mascara girl though because I have no lashes really. LOL I am totally envious of my boy's lashes. #OOT
The Book/Palette. "Love Sweet Love"
Inside, there is a quote from William Shakespeare.
"When I saw you, I fell in love and you smiled because you know"
The book comes with 6 eye shadows, 2 blushes and 2 lip gloss.
All these samples was given to me at Sephora. Awesome right? so many samples. I love samples because I always go out of town to visit friends and families so it is easier to pack with samples.
Now for the promotion kit that I talked about in the video:

Hello everyone! Happy November!! I know this is an October Glossybox and this is a late post because I was waiting to do the unboxing with you guys then I was posting something else first then before I know it, I was late. I apologized for this and I am trying to catch up with everything. :)
Here is the link to the video I uploaded in Youtube: (pardon my excitement in here during the lipstick/lipgloss swatches) haha Pls don't forget to subscribe to my channel! and liked my videos. Thanks so much for the support. XOXO
Well here are the lists of all the items I received in my Glossybox.
1. ALTERNA BAMBOOLuminous Shine Mist Price of full size: $22/4oz
An eco-certified shine mist made with Indian gooseberry and organic bamboo that controls frizz and flyaways. It is a brilliant and weightless gloss for any hair type.
2. CAROL'S DAUGHTER Shea Souffle Price of full size: $20/8oz
A superbly rich and fast absorbing daily moisturizer containing Shea butter, cocoa butter, and Jojoba oil to help you reach your skin's optimal softness. This shea souffle is non-greasy and free of parabens, mineral oil and artificial colors.
I tried a little bit of this onto my hand because that is where my skin gets super dry and honestly, the product is good but the fragrance is too strong to my liking. I think I am going to have to pass this to someone else. After using it for a few hours, I literally have to wash the lotion off of my hand and I can still smell it after washing it (so that proves the lotion gives some long lasting fragrance lol)
3. HEARTLAND FRAGRANCES Exfoliating Loofa Soap Price of full size: $8/6oz
A truly unique hand-poured loofa soap and encased in a gentle glycerin provides the perfect blend of moisture and exfoliation. This soap is designed to improve circulation and is great for exfoliating.
4. MODELCO LIP DUO Lipstick &Ultra Shine LipGloss Price of full size: $39 Lipstick .13oz
Lipgloss .07floz
I seriously love getting lipstick, lipgloss or anything makeup related in my box. You can see how giddy I get when I see this in my box. LOL
The lipstick part. Ok, see in above picture that it has a mirror included which is awesome by the way. I think it is such a great idea however, now that I have tried the lipstick, I can actually tell you that you cannot put the lipstick on using the mirror lol because it is attached with the lipstick body. Only when I use the lipgloss that I can use the mirror attached with the lipstick.
I really like this lip gloss. It really adds a good shine to my lips. I find though that the lipstick and lipgloss combination is bulky. It is alright if you only go to a party and just want to bring this combo in your purse, however to take this in your makeup bag along with the rest of your stuff, it can add some weight.
5. NATASSJA SKIN Enzyme Facial Peel Price of full size: $40/2oz
This revolutionary facial peel is infused with vitamins and nutrients. It exfoliates with papain, a naturally occurring enzyme in papaya, and gently eliminates dead, dry skin cells to reveal a more radiant skin.
I really love the smell of this facial peel. I have not tried it but if I have to put this on my face and relax for 10 or 15 minutes, I won't have a problem. LOL I probably will enjoy it way too much. Haha
I also received a coupon of 20% off for a DVD workout from physique 57. I showed it in my video. I forgot to take a picture of it.
Also in the video, I mentioned my nail polish that I did for October month. I love the nail art and I found this nail art picture on Beautylish.
Fun and cute don't you agree? I love it. I got so many compliments from this nail art. Now I did not go to the video to see how to do this nail art. I just look at the picture and figure out how to do it because it is pretty simple. It is her idea and I love her for posting a picture of it because it is one of my favorite nail art. I am including her tutorial because the credit goes to her and not me. So enjoy her video because she has other cute and awesome nail arts.
You can find this tutorial by clicking it HERE (This is a link to her Youtube video)
